but_o this_o be_v too_o hot_a for_o your_o finger_n and_o therefore_o you_o think_v fit_a to_o drop_v it_o second_o in_o your_o second_o paragraph_n i_o find_v nothing_o material_a for_o have_v

that_o what_o will_v be_v unlawful_a resistance_n here_o will_v be_v but_o a_o legal_a defence_n there_o and_o this_o alone_a be_v sufficient_a to_o vindicate_v most_o of_o those_o foreign_a divine_n
